Margineni Prison
We would like to be a partner in a projects for adult education on Erasmus+ KA1 or KA2. Margineni Prison is a public institution in Romania, ensuring the execution of the custodial sentences, with the provision of the recuperative intervention of detainees into society and contributes to increasing community safety.
The staff takes care not only of learning and lifelong education of prisoners but also of the development of their professional careers. Besides the custody function, the Margineni Prison also fulfills the educational function.
During the execution of custodial sentences, detainees have role of adults in an adult education institution, and the staff perform their educational function on them, ensuring the access of the prisoners to programs and activities adapted to the identified needs, in accordance with the objectives of specific sectors, respectively the compensation of identified needs and risks from the perspective of criminal behavior. Therefore, we can say that penitentiary workers interacting with detainees are their educators / trainers / mentors.
We appreciate that the results achieved within the partnerships can be notable, ensuring, on the one hand, the collaboration between the institutions for the training of the personnel and the support of the recuperatory approach addressed to the prisoners, and, on the other hand, the promotion of a positive image of the penitentiary in the community. So, we consider it is extremely important to continue working with various partners involved in similar activities and to identify new opportunities for collaboration in strategic projects, with a focus on training, innovation and exchange of good practice.
